Focusing on important aspects of Ngugi's work which critics have hitherto ignored, and drawing on a wide range of relevant theoretical perspectives, this study examines the growing complexity of Ngugi's accounts of the history of colonised and post-colonial Kenya. The cultural and anti-imperial politics on Ngugi's experimentation with language and form in both novel and drama is discussed, including the important role of culture as a source of historical memory and strategies of resistance for oppressed groups. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAll the novels and the major plays are studies in detail, and in addition a substantial chapter examines Ngugi's contribution in the area of non-fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719047315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719047312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.78h x 5.12w x 0.67d","brand":"Patrick Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059552809215,"sku":"9780719047312","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_732aaab2-c128-40cf-9288-3b5ae0576b7f.jpg?v=1685058919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ngugi-wa-thiongo-patrick-williams-9780719047312","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
